I am a good sight reader; and a poor memorizer. I recall having to learn a Haydn contain while taking a college piano class. I memorized the darn thing, but I had such a bad case of stage fright that my performance was very rigid, frigid, whatever. I went home and promptly forgot it. A week later I could not play it from memory. I love being able to sight read because that makes it easier to accompany anthems at choir practice. My director can hand me a piece and I can fake my way through it. There's the rub. I can fake my way though, BUT I tend to be sloppy and it is difficult to go back and clean up my act! Answer to the big Question is: I touch type without thinking. That is my other profession. A medical secretary and computer word processor. I have heard it said that good typists are also good pianists, or is it vice versa. Noel and Clay, thanks for your answers for the MIDI settings. Now it is perfectly clear, and why didn't I realize that?
